The Literacy Action Center teaches these
adults
to read, write, and calculate!

The Literacy Action Center, a nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization since February 1985, transforms English-speaking
adults, who enter our program with limited reading, writing, or math skills,
into skilled, passionate, habitual, critical readers, writers, and
mathematicians! We specialize in English-speaking adults whose reading,
writing, or math skills are below a fifth grade level and live in Salt Lake
County or Davis County in Utah, USA.

Our instruction is delivered in two ways: small group instruction by paid
professionals and a core of volunteers with expertise and passions in
specific areas and one-on-one tutoring by trained volunteers. Why both?
These adults need the advantages that come with both delivery methods; each
method provides program elements that the other method cannot provide.

We educate community volunteers to deliver one-on-one instruction and
support small group instruction. Find out more about
Volunteer Opportunities.

We are not state funded. We are funded by people like you. Find out
